What Happens at a Holistic Healing Center?

Personal centered therapy (also known as "person-centered therapy", "Rogers therapy"). A psychotherapeutic method founded by Rogers, an American psychologist. Its development has gone through four stages: (1) 1940-1950, known as "non-directed consulting". In 1942 he proposed in his book "Counseling and Psychotherapy". Advocating taking and explaining as the main technique, it emphasizes that the healer creates a relaxed atmosphere. Make patients aware of themselves and their living environment. Without revealing personal identity, the therapist explained that he did not use guidance techniques and procedures based on external reference points. He believed that the treatment mainly relied on the patient's inherent growth motivation to avoid interaction with the patient. (2) From 1951 to 1957, it was called "recipient-centered therapy." He published "Recipient-Centered Therapy", which used clIent instead of "patient" for the first time, reflecting the characteristics of psychotherapy. The basic assumption is that the recipient is his (or her) best expert. Has the potential to find solutions to their problems. The task of the healer is to encourage the recipient to explore his or her thoughts and emotions and find a solution to the problem. (3) From 1957 to 1970, it was called "experiential therapy". ^[1]
